What's Up Wednesday---January 2019!

Here we are on the last Wednesday of January. It has seemed like a long month, but with the exception of being sick most of the month, it has been pretty Good. I am linking up with Mel, Shaeffer, and Shay for the super fun What's Up Wednesday. Here's what I have been up to in January.

What We Are Eating This Week

It's going to be a little bit of a busy week and it was a busy weekend so actually this week I don't totally have my meal plan together but this is what I think we are having.

Friday Favorites: J Crew coat, Bachelor Beauty Queens, Tom Brady and Weight Watchers

Wow, this has felt like a long, slow week. I don't know why but it felt slow. We have a lot of fun things on tap for the weekend so I am linking up with Erika, Andrea, Narci and The Blended Blog for my weekly list of things that are bringing me Joy.

1) J Crew Coat

J Crew Factory Vail Parka

So I have a really Good coat that I bought about ten years ago. It is a military wrap style from Tahari and I get compliments on it still to this day. Ten years is a long time to own a coat, and it has been a Good coat, but I have been feeling like it is time to get a new one.

Friday Favorites: The Bachelor, Good Tea, Word for 2019 and a Special Annoucement

Ah Friday, hello! On a Friday when I am still fighting the crud...coughing edition I am linking up with Erika, Andrea, Narci and The Blended Blog for my weekly list of things that are bringing me Joy. Be sure to check out the news about the new link up I am hosting with Holly starting this Thursday January 24 and my word of 2019 in the bonus section below!

1) Celestial Seasonings Cranberry Vanilla Wonderland tea

I love a fruity tea. As you may imagine, because I am nursing the crud I am drinking a lot of tea. I found this Cranberry Vanilla Wonderland tea the other day and it is so Good. The perfect blend of tangy and sweet. Since it is herbal it is great before bed. I am actually enjoying a cup with honey at this very moment. For the record, I think that after naming lipstick or nail polish colors, it would be fun to name teas at Celestial Seasonings.

Friday Favorites: Hallmarkie Awards, J Crew Factory Sale Finds, Better Eye Mask

It's Friday and I am linking up with Erika, Andrea, Narci and The Blended Blog for a totally random list of things that are bringing me Joy as I try to kick the crud with my favorite four legged assistant who is personally no help. But he is cute.

1) DreamTime Spa Comforts Eye Pillow

Over the years I have had similar eye pillows but for the life of me I cannot find mine. I really don't like an eye mask that wraps around my head when I sleep but I do like these eye pillows. This one has lavender in it and does a really Good job blocking out the light. It has been really helpful this week when I didn't feel well.
